Spring Cookies Flavorful – Vanilla Bean and Rose Water
- Unique floral flavor profile from rose water and rich aroma of vanilla bean.
- Easily customizable for dietary preferences or allergies.
- Quick to prepare, making them an excellent choice for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How to Make
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla bean paste and rose water until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack before enjoying the delightful aroma and flavors!
Tips
- For an extra floral kick, add a pinch of dried rose petals to the dough.
- Substitute coconut sugar for a darker, richer flavor.
- Feel free to add white chocolate chips for added sweetness!
Make-Ahead

Storing

Freezing
